Why do we seek relationships, and how can we find fulfilment in them? This teaching extract explores our universal search for lasting happiness. Kadam Morten reveals that when we understand that the true source of happiness is inner peace, we discover that our connections with others are not obstacles, but essential opportunities for training the mind and developing the virtuous qualities that lead to genuine fulfilment and a meaningful life. Based on the book The New Eight Steps to Happiness by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
